Commonly Mistaken

"People aren't against you; they're for themselves."-unknown

This quote has actually helped me a lot in many situations.  I have also passed this quote on to others in situations where it would be helpful.  For example my friend had an art review where worthy professors had to criticize his artwork projects from over the years and tell him if he should still be in the art program.  It seems like a pretty intense, nerve-wracking situation!  I use this quote in a little different context, but I reminded him that they don't want to see him fail.  The professors are going to constructively tell him the truth to help him.  They aren't going to be mean just to be mean, they want to see him succeed!  That helped him a lot because he knew they weren't there to break him down, they were there for good reasons and he didn't need to be nervous.

When going into an interview, or having to give a speech, don't be nervous!  People listening and in the crowd want to see you do well and thrive!
